002:009 Any one who professes to be in the light and yet hates his brother man is still in darkness. 002:010 He who loves his brother man continues in the light, and his life puts no stumbling-block in the way of others. 002:011 But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going-- because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 002:012 I am writing to you, dear children, because for His sake your sins are forgiven you. 002:013 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father. 002:014 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one. 002:015 Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father. 002:016 For the things in the world--the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life-- they all come, not from the Father, but from the world. 002:017 And the world, with its cravings, is passing away, but he who does God's will continues for ever. 002:018 Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last hour has come. 002:019 They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us. 002:020 As for you, you have an anointing from the holy One and have perfect knowledge. 002:021 I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you know it, and you know that nothing false comes from the truth. 002:022 Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son is the anti-Christ. 002:023 No one who disowns the Son has the Father. He who acknowledges the Son has also the Father. 002:024 As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father. 002:025 And this is the promise which He Himself has given us-- the Life of the Ages. 002:026 I have thus written to you concerning those who are leading you astray.
